Welcome to Scouting! We are hoping this page will give new Scouts and their parents some insight to the Scouting program and help answer any questions you may have. If your child has not yet joined a Scouting Unit in the East Texas Area Council and you would like more information on how to join please call the Council Service Center at 903-597-7201 or email Tim Bullock.

Scout Uniforms
A complete Scout uniform shows your pride in Scouting and your Unit. A uniform also provides a place to put all your awards. Check with your leader for specific suggestions and standards regarding Uniforming.
Visit Scoutstuff.org to make a list of uniform pieces and patches you need. While you can not order online at this time you can print out an order form, with prices, to mail or take to your local Scout Distributor. A guide to placement of patches is on the front cover of Scout Books and on Uniform Inspection Sheets. (see our Forms Page) Uniforms make GREAT Christmas and Birthday presents!
